[@redheadreading]

Oooh your non fiction November selection sounds super interesting! It's always so fun to hear how people interpret the prompts differently and that cookbook looks fab 😊

[@novelideea]

@@redheadreading I agree! I went heavy on words/list/collections (two I have requested are similar 🤭) ! The walks and the cookbook are going to be my night time reads. Easy to pick up and put down/ read in snippets♥️ I’m so excited ❣️❣️❣️

[@amusicalbookworm]

Great to hear about your plans! Can’t believe it’s the last nonfiction November 🥹

[@novelideea]

@@amusicalbookworm 🥺 I Know 💔 What are you reading? Any ideas?

[@bookstalgic]

Great TBR! I haven’t read any of these, but they all sound really interesting. I have wanted to read the Kristen L. books as well As The Olde Curiously Shop. The History of the World in 500 Walks sounds really good! Hope you have a wonderful reading month in November 📚✨😊

[@novelideea]

@@bookstalgic Thank you, Farrah! I’m looking forward to all of them!!

[@This.mama.loves.reading]

The history of the world in 500 walks looks fantastic! I’m excited to hear your thoughts on that one! Happy Reading 😊

[@novelideea]

@@This.mama.loves.reading I have several of Baxter’s books and I have enjoyed them, so I am expectant! thanks for watching and commenting! Happy Reading!

[@sterlingreads547]

Wow, is it that time already. I enjoyed The Professor and the madman. Mostly plants looks really good. Lark Rise was wonderful 😊 Happy Reading 📚📚🍂

[@novelideea]

@@sterlingreads547 I’m hearing lots of good things about P&M! 🤞🏻 I can’t believe there are only 2.25 months left of 2024! I’m okay with putting it behind me, it’s been a rough one.

[@areadersalmanacwithceleste1366]

Hi Deea. Enjoying your video with lunch! Looks like you have a lot of irons on the fire! The bug book looks good! Also the one with all of the paths and walks. : ) I'll also be reading something for nonfiction November but not sure what, yet.

[@novelideea]

It doesn't feel like lots, so I guess that is good 😅 I picked up the Thesaurus and Walks books last night and dipped into them a bit. They're going to be great, I think. I can't wait to see what you decide!

[@MorgansEndlessBookshelf]

The storyline of The Professor and the Madman was really great! I never read the book, but a classmate gave a presentation on it, and I watched the movie.

[@novelideea]

I didn't know there was a movie. Is it called the same thing? I picked it up at a Little Free Library several months ago and have been hanging onto it just for NFN!

[@MorgansEndlessBookshelf]

@@novelideea Yep! It was pretty good. I think it's got Mel Gibson and Sean Penn in it.

[@SueJacksonDE]

The Cabinet of Wonder sounds weird but fascinating! The Creation of Roget's Thesaurus sounds interesting, too. I love lists, too :) The 500 walks book looks beautiful. Your buddy reads sound like fun. I love Dickens but have never even heard of The Old Curiosity Shop! I always enjoy Nonfiction November, too - I posted my video earlier this week. Enjoy your books this month!

[@novelideea]

Hi Sue! Old Curiosity Shop is one of his first (maybe fourth or fifth) and has a similar feel to A Christmas Carol's message about how love transcends the despair of poverty, and how graciously unburdening those you can with what you have available is the best part of humanity. Very excited for all my Nonfiction reads!!

[@SueJacksonDE]

@@novelideea I'll have to read that one! I always enjoy Dickens.

[@insearchofwonder]

Look how close you are to a thousand subscribers!!! 🎊🎊Woohoo!

[@novelideea]

I have a fun video planned for when that happens 😄🥰

[@bethanysbookshelf]

Yay!!! So close!! 🎉

[@novelideea]

@@bethanysbookshelf I've been hovering here for a very long time 🤣 So close and yet becalmed. ⛵

[@ReadbyFred]

Oh wow, I have to stop watching booktube - so many great reads that are being added to my TBR, well, except for cookbooks :) _Mr. Wilson's Cabinet of Wonder_ sounds like an amazing read. I will definitely be participating in nonfiction November - seems like that's pretty much all I read these days :p Thanks so much for sharing :)

[@novelideea]

@@ReadbyFred 😂 I feel the same way this time of year! I have a list begun of books to request from the library! Thanks for watching🤗

[@sandra3616]

The books are coming so slowly at the library right now! But I'm looking forward to our next Gabrielle Roy when it gets here!

[@novelideea]

@@sandra3616 just let me know and I’ll be ready!

[@hasteyebooks]

The history of the wolrd in 500 walks sounds so interesting! And it's such a good idea to have a book about food for the theme 'join' it truly is joining ingredients and flavours and if you eat as a family too! I just read a short story by Gabrielle Roy, I need to pick up more! And to be fair The Tin Flute is depressing, it's one of these we have to read when you're from Quebec and I thought I didn't like Roy's writing for that reason!

[@novelideea]

@@hasteyebooks I’m really thankful Tin Flute wasn’t my introduction to Roy. I’ve liked everything else I’ve read by her more than I liked TF. Cannot wait to read (and cook) from the cookbook! I’m hopeful the “Walks” will be fascinating. It’s beautifully produced but I’ve read some other Baxter’s that have fallen flat in the writing.

[@curioushmm9027]

i remember enjoying the madman and the professor...and i am never sure if i've read mr. wilson's cabinet and i was thinking of it today as i saw that weschler had blurbed an amazing book of essays i just finished reading..."things that are" by amy leach..i think you'd love it..i do read more non-fiction than fiction and i'm pretty set for some time to come but i'll want to re-read this in the future so maybe a buddy read next year (God willing and the creek don't rise) if it comes into your hands??

[@novelideea]

Oooo! That would be fun! I’m most excited about Mr. Wilson’s!! I’ll look for Amy’s book🤗

[@curioushmm9027]

@@novelideea oh good..😀

[@Coffee_and_a_Book]

I've never done Nonfiction November, but I have a few nonfiction books I need to read so looking forward to participating next month! The two books on the OED and thesaurus sound really interesting! Looking forward to hearing what you think of them.

[@novelideea]

I'm so glad you'll get to be a part of it this year. I've actually just begun reading the Thesaurus book and it is good so far.

[@bakerbrewz]

Nonfiction November I like that theme. I typically only read non-fiction just where I'm at right now with life and kids. I have to laugh when you read that bug book and what it was nominated for and have no idea that that is lol I see awards on books and just like have no idea about any of them haha But that path book sounds amazing - really neat!

[@novelideea]

@@bakerbrewz I did the same when mine were homeschooling! It feels very indulgent to be at 200+ reads and 80% of them be Fiction😱

[@bakerbrewz]

@@novelideea That is absolutely amazing! wow! :) I will enjoy your fiction reviews vicariously through you for now till the day comes I have more free time lol ;)

[@awebofstories]

Great books! I've heard great things about The Professor and the Madman. Given the subject and what you said you liked, I think it might be a great book for you.

[@novelideea]

That is what everyone is telling me! Yay!!

[@WaterBearReads]

Hi Deea! Enjoying your video with a cardamom chai latte! I really want to read The Hidden Life of Trees. I am wondering if I should do an illustrated non-fiction chat next...would that qualify as a non-fiction November participation? There are some true beauties out there!

[@novelideea]

I absolutely loved the Hidden Life of Trees, Heather! It's just wonderful. Of course It would count! Not to mention, I would love to see it!

[@novelideea]

Cardamom Chai sounds Perfect for my weather today! I might have to see if I have some in the cupboard and make myself some!

[@bethanysbookshelf]

I’ve never done non-fiction Nov, but I have really been enjoying my non-fiction lately - so I might try to jump in!

[@novelideea]

Even if it is just one NF it counts as participation! Any idea what you might try to pick up?

[@bethanysbookshelf]

@@novelideea I have one sitting on my shelves that I started, but haven’t picked up in a while. The Lord’s Supper by Jonathan Black! Oh, and I’m also planning to read Adorning The Dark by Andrew Peterson and All Creatures Great and Small by James Herriot! I’ve got more than I realized! 🤭

[@bethanysbookshelf]

Also thought about picking up Second Class by Batya Ungar-Sargon. Thought that might be “fun” for election month. 😂 Wow…more books than I know what to do with!!

[@novelideea]

@@bethanysbookshelf I love both Adorning the Dark and All Creatures! 🥰

[@sherrirabinowitz4618]

Hi, thanks for an very interesting list. My Nonfiction Nov books are; (Not sure I will finish them all,) The letters of Vincent Van Gogh, The actor Brian Cox's autobiography, The Secrets of the Code, (its about the Da Vinci Code, looks really fascinating,) The Ship of Dreams by Gareth Russell, (I listened to his three part podcast about it and I am very interested,) Overture of Hope, about two women who saved Opera's Jews from the Nazis, Aspects of the Novel by EM Forster, (love is books, these are lectures he gave about writing.) And that is it. A pretty diverse group I think.

[@novelideea]

A very diverse group, indeed! I love it! The DaVinci code one sounds particularly interesting. You’ll have to make sure to let me know what you get to and enjoy from your list! ❤

[@sherrirabinowitz4618]

@@novelideea thanks, I hope to read some of them. I never read all of my TBRs. I just don't have the time, sadly. I do hope to read Secrets of the Code, it seems to be a balanced book about the Da Vinci Code, not blasting it but looking at it fairly. I have never understood some of the craziness about it, it is a fictional book and clearly shows that all over. He gives the information of the real history at the end of the book. I have read other Historical Fiction like that and people did not go so over the line. So I hope this book will clarify some stuff for me.

[@Thecatladybooknook_PennyD]

I do plan to read more nonfiction next month. I won a book through Goodreads so I need to read and review it on their site. Plus I own a couple other nf I want to work through that I've been holding onto for awhile.

[@novelideea]

Can I ask what they may be?

[@Thecatladybooknook_PennyD]

In Cold Blood by Truman Capote and Ask Not: The Kennedys and the Women they Destroyed by Maureen Callahan (won this one) and may work through Cat Stories (the book you sent me 🥰). I have a couple others I may mood read from but I'm still reading some fiction that I'll be starting this week.

[@novelideea]

@@Thecatladybooknook_PennyD OH! Yay! I hope you love the cat stories. The kitty antics feel like the makings of a cozy nonfiction 🤗 I really like Capote's In Cold Blood. Not the subject so much as how he told the story. It's disturbing.

[@Thecatladybooknook_PennyD]

@@novelideea yes I figure it will be nerve-y. Christy told me a long time ago that she loved it. 😻

[@CourtneyReads]

I want to read The Professor and the Madman after hearing Arion talk about it.

[@novelideea]

Well, if you want to read it next month, we'll just add it to our discussion! haha😂

[@CourtneyReads]

@@novelideea I don't have a copy, but if it's easy to get my hands on, I might take you up on that.

[@CandlewickLibrary]

I am interested in hearing what you think of The Madman and the aprofessor

[@novelideea]

@@CandlewickLibrary it’s one of the ones I’ll read first! 😀

[@CourtneyReads]

Yes, The Old Curiosity Shop is a reread for me. I didn't like it 😅 so we shall see what I think this time.

[@novelideea]

😂😂 That will make it interesting!😂😂 We need to message about how much of it we're doing each day, etc..

[@marianacaffaro]

I DNFed Cranford, it was boring to me

[@novelideea]

@@marianacaffaro I’ve read it before. I find it a little funny and endearing. I might try the audiobook this read through just to mix it up a bit.☺️
